Abstract
INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of acute myocarditis (AM) is complex due to its heterogeneity and typically is defined by either Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) or advanced imaging and endomyocardial biopsy, but there is no consensus. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of these approaches for AM. METHODS Data on ICD 10th Revision(ICD-10) codes corresponding to AM were collected from two hospitals and compared to CMR-confirmed or clinically suspected(CS) AM cases with respect to diagnostic accuracy, clinical characteristics, and all-cause mortality. Next, we performed a review of published AM studies according to inclusion criteria. RESULTS We identified 291 unique admissions with ICD-10 codes corresponding to AM in the first three diagnostic positions. The positive predictive value(PPV) of ICD-10 codes for CMR-confirmed or CS-AM was 36%, and patients with CMR-confirmed or CS AM had a lower all-cause mortality than those with a refuted diagnosis (P = 0.019). Using an unstructured approach, patients with CMR-confirmed and CS AM had similar demographics, comorbidity profiles and survival over a median follow-up of 52 months (P = 0.72). Our review of the literature confirmed our findings. Outcomes for patients included in studies using CMR-confirmed criteria were favourable compared to studies with EMB-confirmed AM cases. CONCLUSION ICD-10 codes have poor accuracy in identification of AM cases and should be used with caution in clinical research. There are important differences in management and outcomes of patients according to the selection criteria used to diagnose AM. Potential selection biases must be considered when interpreting AM cohorts and requires standardisation of inclusion criteria for AM studies.

Abstract
AIMS Specialist cardiology care is associated with a prognostic benefit in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) admitted with decompensated HF. However, up to one third of patients admitted with HF and normal ejection fraction (HFnEF) do not receive specialist cardiology input. Whether this has prognostic implications is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Data on patients hospitalized with HFnEF from two tertiary centres were analysed. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality during follow-up. The secondary outcome was in-hospital mortality. A total of 1413 patients were included in the study. Of these, 23% (n = 322) did not receive in-hospital specialist cardiology input. Patients seen by a cardiologist were less likely to have hypertension (73% vs. 79%, P = 0.03) and respiratory co-morbidities (25% vs. 31%, P = 0.02) compared with those who did not receive specialist input. Similarly, clinical presentation was more severe for those who received specialist input (New York Heart Association III/IV 83% vs. 75% respectively, P = 0.003; moderate-to-severe peripheral oedema 65% vs. 54%, P < 0.001). Medical management was similar, except for a higher use of diuretics (90% vs. 86%, P = 0.04) and a longer length of stay for patients who received specialist input (9 vs. 4 days, P < 0.001). Long-term outcomes were comparable between patients who received specialist input and those who did not. However, specialist input was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality (hazard ratio 0.19, confidence interval 0.09-0.43, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In-hospital cardiology specialist input has no long-term prognostic advantage in patients with HFnEF but is independently associated with reduced in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
Speciation entails a reduction in gene flow between lineages. The rates at which genomic regions become isolated varies across space and time. Barrier markers are linked to putative genes involved in (processes of) reproductive isolation, and, when observed over two transects, indicate species-wide processes. In contrast, transect-specific putative barrier markers suggest local processes. We studied two widely separated transects along the 900 km hybrid zone between Bufo bufo and B. spinosus, in northern and southern France, for ~1200 RADseq markers. We used genomic and geographic cline analyses to identify barrier markers based on their restricted introgression, and found that some markers are transect-specific, while others are shared between transects. Twenty-six barrier markers were shared across both transects, of which some are clustered in the same chromosomal region, suggesting that their associated genes are involved in reduced gene flow across the entire hybrid zone. Transect-specific barrier markers were twice as numerous in the southern than in the northern transect, suggesting that the overall barrier effect is weaker in northern France. We hypothesize that this is consistent with a longer period of secondary contact in southern France. The smaller number of introgressed genes in the northern transect shows considerably more gene flow towards the southern (B. spinosus) than the northern species (B. bufo). We hypothesize that hybrid zone movement in northern France and hybrid zone stability in southern France explain this pattern. The Bufo hybrid zone provides an excellent opportunity to separate a general barrier effect from localized gene flow-reducing conditions.

Abstract
AIMS There is little evidence of the impact of syncope in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients in routine community hospital care. This single-centre retrospective study sought to evaluate the incidence and prognostic significance of syncope in consecutive ICD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were collected on consecutive patients undergoing first ICD implantation between January 2009 and December 2019. The primary endpoints were the first occurrence of all-cause syncope, all-cause mortality, and all-cause hospitalization. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify risk factors associated with syncope and to analyse the subsequent risk of mortality and hospitalization. 1003 patients (58% primary prevention) were included in the final analysis. During a mean follow-up of 1519 ± 1055 days, 106 (10.6%) experienced syncope, 304 died (30.3%), and 477 (47.5%) were hospitalized for any cause. In an analysis adjusted for baseline variables, the first occurrence of syncope was associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality (HR 2.82, P < 0.001) and the first occurrence of hospitalization (HR 2.46, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Syncope in ICD recipients is common and associated with a poor prognosis irrespective of baseline variables and ICD programming. The occurrence of syncope is associated with a significant increase in the risk of mortality and hospitalization.

Abstract
Aim Acute myocarditis (AM) is a heterogeneous condition with variable estimates of survival. Contemporary criteria for the diagnosis of clinically suspected AM enable non-invasive assessment, resulting in greater sensitivity and more representative cohorts. We aimed to describe the demographic characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with AM diagnosed using non-invasive criteria. Methods and results A total of 199 patients with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-confirmed AM were included. The majority (n = 130, 65%) were male, and the average age was 39 ± 16 years. Half of the patients were White (n = 99, 52%), with the remainder from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. The most common clinical presentation was chest pain (n = 156, 78%), with smaller numbers presenting with breathlessness (n = 25, 13%) and arrhythmias (n = 18, 9%). Patients admitted with breathlessness were sicker and more often required inotropes, steroids, and renal replacement therapy (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.01, respectively). Over a median follow-up of 53 (IQR 34-76) months, 11 patients (6%) experienced an adverse outcome, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. Patients in the arrhythmia group had a worse prognosis, with a nearly sevenfold risk of adverse events [hazard ratio (HR) 6.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.87-26.00, p = 0.004]. Sex and ethnicity were not significantly associated with the outcome. Conclusion AM is highly heterogeneous with an overall favourable prognosis. Three-quarters of patients with AM present with chest pain, which is associated with a benign prognosis. AM presenting with life-threatening arrhythmias is associated with a higher risk of adverse events.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profoundly influenced cardiological clinical and basic research in the past two years. In the present review, we summarize the current knowledge on myocardial involvement in COVID-19, providing an overview on the incidence, the pathogenetic mechanisms, and the clinical implications of cardiac injury in this setting. RECENT FINDINGS The possibility of heart involvement in patients with COVID-19 has received great attention since the beginning of the pandemic. After more than two years, several steps have been taken in understanding the mechanisms and the incidence of cardiac injury during COVID-19 infection. Similarly, studies globally have clarified the implications of co-existing heart disease and COVID-19. Severe COVID-19 infection may be complicated by myocardial injury. To date, a direct damage from the virus has not been demonstrated. The presence of myocardial injury should be systematically assessed for a prognostication purpose and for possible therapeutic implications.

Introduction
Generic ICD programming, where shock-reduction programming is extrapolated from trials of one manufacturer to another, may reduce non-essential ICD therapies beyond that seen in randomised trials. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the impact of a standardised programming protocol, based on generic programming, across manufacturers. We also evalutated the impact of combining different detection rates and detection times.
Methods
We included all new ICDs in a single centre (2009-2019). In 2013 a standardised programming protocol based on generic programming was introduced. Patients were classified into three groups: pre-guideline (PS), post-guideline and guideline compliant (GC) and post-guideline but not guideline compliant (NGC). The end-points were the first occurrence of any device therapy (ATP or shock), ICD shock, syncope and all-cause mortality. Survival analysis was used to evaluate outcomes. A ’’programming score’’ was composed based on detection rate and time. The relationship between this composite "programming score’’ and study end-points was evaluated in multivariable cox proportional hazards models
Results
1003 patients were included (mean follow-up 1519 +/- 1005 days). In primary prevention patients freedom from ICD therapy (91.5% vs. 73.6%, p<0.001) or shock (94.7% vs 84.8%, p=0.02) were significantly higher in GC compared to PS patients, without significant increase in syncope or mortality. In secondary prevention patients freedom from any ICD therapy or any shock were non-significantly higher in GC compared to PS patients. Among primary prevention patients with the highest ’programming score’ (longest detection time and highest detection rates), there was a 82% reduction in risk of any ICD therapy (p<0.001) and a 70% reduction in risk of ICD shock (p<0.001)
Conclusion
A standardised programming protocol, incorporating generic programming, reduced the burden of ICD therapy without an increase in adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, admissions for cardiovascular disease, including Heart Failure (HF), were reduced. Patients hospitalised for HF were sicker and with increased in-hospital mortality. So far, whether following waves had a different impact on HF patients is unknown. METHODS All consecutive patients hospitalised for acute heart failure during three different COVID-19 related national lockdowns were analysed. The lockdown periods were defined according to Government guidelines as 23/3/2020 to 4/7/2020 (First Lockdown), 4/11/2020 to 2/12/2020 (Second Lockdown) and 5/1/2021 to 28/2/2021 (Third Lockdown). RESULTS Overall, 184 patients hospitalised for HF were included in the study, 95 during the 1st lockdown, 30 during the 2nd lockdown and 59 during the 3rd lockdown. Across the three groups had comparable clinical characteristics, comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors. Specialist in-hospital care was uninterrupted during the pandemic showing comparable mortality rates (p = 0.10). Although medical therapy for HF was comparable between the three lockdowns, a significantly higher proportion of patients received Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNI) in the second and third lockdowns (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although public health approaches changed throughout the pandemic, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HF patients were consistent across different waves. For patients hospitalised in the subsequent waves, a more rapid optimization of medical therapy was observed during hospitalization. Particular attention should be devoted to prevent collateral cardiovascular damage during public health emergencies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Generic ICD programming, where shock-reduction programming is extrapolated from trials of one manufacturer to another, may reduce non-essential ICD therapies beyond that seen in randomized trials. However, the benefits and risks are unknown. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the impact of a standardized programming protocol, based on generic programming, across manufacturers. METHODS We included all new ICDs in a single center (2009-2019). In 2013 a standardized programming protocol based on generic programming was introduced, incorporating high detection rates (200 bpm for primary prevention) and long detection (30/40 or equivalent in VF zone) for all patients. Patients were classified into three groups based on implant programming: pre-guideline (PS), post-guideline and guideline compliant (GC) and post-guideline but not guideline compliant (NGC). The end-points were the first occurrence of any device therapy (ATP or shock), ICD shock, syncope and all-cause mortality. Survival analysis was used to evaluate outcomes. RESULTS 1003 patients were included (mean follow-up 1519 ± 1005 days). In primary prevention patients (n = 583) freedom from ICD therapy (91.5% vs. 73.6%, p < .001) or shock (94.7% vs 84.8%, p = .02) were significantly higher in GC compared to PS patients, without significant increase in syncope or mortality. In secondary prevention patients (n = 420) freedom from any ICD therapy or any shock were non-significantly higher in GC compared to PS patients, without an increase in syncope or mortality. CONCLUSIONS In primary prevention patients a standardized programming protocol, incorporating generic programming, reduced the burden of ICD therapy without an increase in adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Aims The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in excess mortality due to both COVID-19 directly and other conditions, including cardiovascular (CV) disease. We aimed to explore the excess in-hospital mortality, unrelated to COVID-19 infection, across a range of CV diseases. Methods and results A systematic search was performed for studies investigating in-hospital mortality among patients admitted with CV disease without SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with a period outside the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifteen studies on 27 421 patients with CV disease were included in the analysis. The average in-hospital mortality rate was 10.4% (n = 974) in the COVID-19 group and 5.7% (n = 1026) in the comparator group. Compared with periods outside the COVID-19 pandemic, the pooled risk ratio (RR) demonstrated increased in-hospital mortality by 62% during COVID-19 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20–2.20, P = 0.002]. Studies with a decline in admission rate >50% during the COVID-19 pandemic observed the greatest increase in mortality compared with those with <50% reduction [RR 2.74 (95% CI 2.43–3.10) vs. 1.21 (95% CI 1.07–1.37), P < 0.001]. The observed increased mortality was consistent across different CV conditions (P = 0.74 for interaction). Conclusions In-hospital mortality among patients admitted with CV diseases was increased relative to periods outside the pandemic, independent of co-infection with COVID-19. This effect was larger in studies with the biggest decline in admission rates, suggesting a sicker cohort of patients in this period. However, studies were generally poorly conducted, and there is a need for further well-designed studies to establish the full extent of mortality not directly related to COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life-threatening arrhythmias (LTAs) can trigger sudden cardiac death or provoke implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) discharges that escalate morbidity and mortality. Longitudinal myofibrils predominate in the subendocardium, which is uniquely sensitive to arrhythmogenic triggers. In this study, we test the hypothesis that mitral annular systolic velocity (S'), a simple routinely obtained tissue Doppler index of LV long-axis systolic function, might predict lethal arrhythmias irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of data from 302 patients (mean age, 68 years; LVEF, 32%; 77% male; 52% ischemic; 35% primary prevention; and 53% cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator [CRT-D]) who were followed up (median, 15 months) at two centers after receipt of an ICD or CRT-D for diverse indications. S', averaged from tissue Doppler-derived medial and lateral mitral annular velocities, was correlated with the primary outcome of time to sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation (VF) needing device therapy. RESULTS The median S' was 5.1 (interquartile range, 4.0-6.2) cm/sec and lower in CRT-D than ICD subjects (4.5 [3.8-5.6] cm/sec vs 5.5 [4.8-6.8] cm/sec, P < .001). Fifty-six (19%) subjects had LTA. Each 1 cm/sec higher S' correlated to a 30% decreased risk of LTA (hazard ratio = 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57-0.87; P = .001) independently of age, sex, β-blocker use, center, ICD use, and LVEF. Adding S' to the baseline Cox model improved net reclassification (P = .02). An S' > 5.6 cm/sec was the best cutoff and linked to a 58% lower LTA risk than an S' ≤ 5.6 cm/sec (95% CI, 0.23-0.85; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS A higher S' is associated with a reduced probability of LTA in cardiac device recipients irrespective of LVEF and may have the potential to be used clinically to titrate medical, device, and ablative therapies to mitigate future arrhythmic risk.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and significantly increases stroke risk. This risk is effectively managed by oral anticoagulation. Recent studies using national registry data indicate increased use of anticoagulation resulting from changes in guidelines and the availability of newer drugs. The aim of this study is to develop and validate an open source risk scoring pipeline for free-text electronic health record data using natural language processing. AF patients discharged from 1st January 2011 to 1st October 2017 were identified from discharge summaries (N = 10,030, 64.6% male, average age 75.3 ± 12.3 years). A natural language processing pipeline was developed to identify risk factors in clinical text and calculate risk for ischaemic stroke (CHA2DS2-VASc) and bleeding (HAS-BLED). Scores were validated vs two independent experts for 40 patients. Automatic risk scores were in strong agreement with the two independent experts for CHA2DS2-VASc (average kappa 0.78 vs experts, compared to 0.85 between experts). Agreement was lower for HAS-BLED (average kappa 0.54 vs experts, compared to 0.74 between experts). In high-risk patients (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥2) OAC use has increased significantly over the last 7 years, driven by the availability of DOACs and the transitioning of patients from AP medication alone to OAC. Factors independently associated with OAC use included components of the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores as well as discharging specialty and frailty. OAC use was highest in patients discharged under cardiology (69%). Electronic health record text can be used for automatic calculation of clinical risk scores at scale. Open source tools are available today for this task but require further validation. Analysis of routinely collected EHR data can replicate findings from large-scale curated registries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AF ablation (AFA) with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is highly successful for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, success rates for persistent AF (PsAF) are significantly lower. In this study we evaluate the impact of left atrial (LA) low voltage areas (LVA) on response to AFA. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing first-time radiofrequency AFA were included (n = 160, 53% PAF). PVI was performed followed by LA voltage mapping during sinus rhythm. Patients were categorized as having LVA based on the presence of LVA (0.2-0.5 mV) in the LA assessed visually by the operator intra-procedurally. Further adjunctive LA ablation was performed at the operators' discretion. The end-point was recurrence of any sustained atrial arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation/tachycardia/flutter) during 12 months follow-up. RESULTS All patients had PVI and 23 (14%) had adjunctive LA ablation. LVA were found in 49 (31%) patients and were an independent predictor of arrhythmia recurrence. Patients with LVA compared to those without had significantly lower 12-month arrhythmia-free survival in both PAF (38% vs 76%; P = 0.002) and PsAF (27% vs 61%; P = 0.015). PsAF patients without LVA (93% had PVI alone) had similar arrhythmia-free survival to patients with PAF (61% vs 67%, respectively; P = 0.42). Recurrence in patients with LVA compared to those without was more likely to be an organized atrial arrhythmia rather than AF (16/30 recurrences vs 2/26, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The presence of LVA predicts AFA success as well as the type of arrhythmia recurrence. The absence of LVA identifies PsAF patients that respond well to a PVI-based ablation strategy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many centers perform day-case cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device implantation. However, there is a paucity of prospective data concerning this approach. We performed a prospective single-center study of day-case device implantation, including data on patient satisfaction. METHODS All patients scheduled for a new elective device were considered for a day-case procedure. Exclusion criteria were living alone or without a suitable carer, advancing age/frailty, a metallic valve, and persistent complete heart block. Following discharge, patients were reviewed in device clinic at 6 weeks with an anonymized questionnaire. RESULTS During the study period (May 2014-August 2016), 797 new CRM devices were implanted. Of these, 232 were elective and included in the analysis; 101 were planned to be day-case and 131 scheduled for overnight stay. Of the 101 day-case patients, 52 had a pacemaker, 28 an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), 16 a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker/defibrillator, and five a subcutaneous-ICD. Complications were similar in the day-case (n = 12, 12%) and overnight stay (n = 15, 11%) groups (P = 0.92). In the day-case group, 93 (92%) patients went home the same day. An estimated 111 overnight bed days were saved, translating to a cost saving of £61,912 (euro 70,767, $79,211). Note that 99% (n = 100) of patients returned the questionnaire. Patient satisfaction was universally high. The majority (n = 98, 98%) felt ready to go home on discharge; only a minority (n = 5, 5%) would have preferred an overnight stay. CONCLUSIONS A significant proportion of elective new CRM device implants can be performed as day-case procedures. With appropriate selection patient acceptability of same-day discharge is high.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly co‐exists with systolic heart failure (SHF) and its presence is associated with a worse prognosis. Despite this, a rhythm control approach using antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) to reduce AF burden has demonstrated no prognostic benefit. Catheter ablation (AFA) is more effective than AADs at reducing AF burden. We performed a meta‐analysis to evaluate the impact of AFA on outcomes in SHF. Electronic databases were systematically searched. We included only randomized controlled trials that examined the impact of AFA on clinical outcomes in patients with SHF (LVEF <50%). We included studies with any ablation strategy that incorporated pulmonary vein isolation and any control group. Seven studies (n = 858) were included with a mean follow‐up of 6‐38 months. In comparison to controls, AFA was associated with significant reductions in all‐cause mortality (relative risk [RR] 0.52, P = 0.0009) and unplanned or heart failure hospitalization (RR 0.58, P < 0.00001). Compared to controls, AFA was also associated with significant improvements in LVEF (mean difference 6.30%, P < 0.00001), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score (mean difference 9.58, P = 0.0003), 6‐minute walk distance (mean difference 31.78 m, P = 0.003) and VO2 max (mean difference 3.17, P = 0.003). However, major procedure‐related complications occurred in 2.4%‐15% of ablation patients. In patients with AF and SHF, catheter ablation has significant benefits. Further work is needed to establish the role of ablation in the routine treatment of SHF patients with AF. We performed a meta‐analysis evaluating the impact of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and systolic heart failure. A total of 858 patients were included across seven studies. Compared to controls, ablation was associated with lower all‐cause mortality and hospitalizations, higher LVEF, and improved symptoms and physiologic parameters.

Abstract
Large-scale implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) trials have unequivocally shown a reduction in mortality in appropriately selected patients with heart failure and depressed left ventricular function. However, there is a strong association between shocks and increased mortality in ICD recipients. It is unclear if shocks are merely a marker of a more severe cardiovascular disease or directly contribute to the increase in mortality. The aim of this review is to examine the relationship between ICD shocks and mortality, and explore possible mechanisms. Data examining the effect of shocks in the absence of spontaneous arrhythmias as well as studies of non-shock therapy and strategies to reduce shocks are analysed to try and disentangle the shocks versus substrate debate.

Abstract
PURPOSE Randomised trials have shown that empiric ICD programming, using long detection times and high detection zones, reduces device therapy in ICD recipients. However, there is less data on its effectiveness in a "real-world" setting, especially secondary prevention patients. Our aim was to evaluate the introduction of a standardised programming protocol in a real-world setting of unselected ICD recipients. METHODS We analysed 270 consecutive ICD recipients implanted in a single centre-135 implanted prior to protocol implementation (physician-led group) and 135 after (standardised group). The protocol included long arrhythmia detection times (30/40 or equivalent) and high rate detection zones (primary prevention lower treatment zone 200 bpm). Programming in the physician-led group was at the discretion of the implanter. The primary endpoint was time-to-any therapy (ATP or shocks). Secondary endpoints were time-to-inappropriate therapy and time-to-appropriate therapy. The safety endpoints were syncopal episodes, hospital admissions and death. RESULTS At 12 months follow-up, 47 patients had received any ICD therapy (physician-led group, n = 31 vs. standardised group, n = 16). There was a 47 % risk reduction in any device therapy (p = 0.04) and an 86 % risk reduction in inappropriate therapy (p = 0.009) in the standardised compared to the physician-led group. There was a non-significant 30 % risk reduction in appropriate therapy (p = 0.32). Results were consistent across primary and secondary prevention patients. There were no significant differences in the rates of syncope, hospitalisation, and death. CONCLUSIONS In unselected patients in a real-world setting, introduction of a standardised programming protocol, using long detection times and high detection zones, significantly reduces the burden of ICD therapy without an increase in adverse outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS Risk stratification of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is challenging. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is proposed as a non-invasive electrocardiogram marker associated with mortality and SCD. Results from individual studies including small numbers of patients are discrepant. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of studies evaluating fQRS as a risk stratification tool to predict all-cause mortality and SCD. METHODS AND RESULTS Electronic databases and bibliographies were systematically searched (1996-2014). Twelve studies (5009 patients) recruiting patients with coronary artery disease or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy met our inclusion criteria. Fragmented QRS was associated with an all-cause mortality relative risk of 1.71 (CI 1.02-2.85) and a relative risk of SCD of 2.20 (CI 1.05-4.62). Subgroup analysis demonstrated greater mortality and SCD risk in those with left ventricular ejection fraction >35% and SCD risk in those with QRS duration <120 ms. CONCLUSION Fragmented QRS is associated with all-cause mortality and the occurrence of SCD and may be suited as a marker of SCD risk. The incremental benefit of fQRS should be assessed in a randomized, prospective setting.

Abstract
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been demonstrated to improve survival by reducing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Randomised trial data suggest that this mortality reduction is not constant among those implanted with a device, and has raised the significance of non-sudden cardiac death (non-SCD) as an important mode of death predicting limited benefit from ICD therapy. In this review article we explore the role of non-SCD and the risk prediction models that may aid identification of low LVEF patients unlikely to gain significant benefit from ICD therapy.

Abstract
The increasing rate of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation coupled with shared risk factors between lung cancer and ischemic cardiac disease means that the need for radiotherapy in cardiac device patients is set to become commonplace. We describe two cases referred to our electrophysiology service over a 6-month period. Both had been diagnosed with lung cancer in tissue directly posterior to a previously implanted ICD device. The cases highlight the risks to device function caused by ionizing radiation, the practical difficulties and ethical dilemmas of delivering radiotherapy to cardiac device patients safely and a novel setting for the use of a wearable defibrillator system.

Abstract
The directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV relative to the collision symmetry plane defined by the spectator nucleons. A negative slope of the rapidity-odd directed flow component with approximately 3 times smaller magnitude than found at the highest RHIC energy is observed. This suggests a smaller longitudinal tilt of the initial system and disfavors the strong fireball rotation predicted for the LHC energies. The rapidity-even directed flow component is measured for the first time with spectators and found to be independent of pseudorapidity with a sign change at transverse momenta p(T) between 1.2 and 1.7 GeV/c. Combined with the observation of a vanishing rapidity-even p(T) shift along the spectator deflection this is strong evidence for dipolelike initial density fluctuations in the overlap zone of the nuclei. Similar trends in the rapidity-even directed flow and the estimate from two-particle correlations at midrapidity, which is larger by about a factor of 40, indicate a weak correlation between fluctuating participant and spectator symmetry planes. These observations open new possibilities for investigation of the initial conditions in heavy-ion collisions with spectator nucleons.

Abstract
The ALICE measurement of K(S)(0) and Λ production at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV is presented. The transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra are shown for several collision centrality intervals and in the p(T) range from 0.4 GeV/c (0.6 GeV/c for Λ) to 12 GeV/c. The p(T) dependence of the Λ/K(S)(0) ratios exhibits maxima in the vicinity of 3 GeV/c, and the positions of the maxima shift towards higher p(T) with increasing collision centrality. The magnitude of these maxima increases by almost a factor of three between most peripheral and most central Pb-Pb collisions. This baryon excess at intermediate p(T) is not observed in pp interactions at √s=0.9 TeV and at √s=7 TeV. Qualitatively, the baryon enhancement in heavy-ion collisions is expected from radial flow. However, the measured p(T) spectra above 2 GeV/c progressively decouple from hydrodynamical-model calculations. For higher values of p(T), models that incorporate the influence of the medium on the fragmentation and hadronization processes describe qualitatively the p(T) dependence of the Λ/K(S)(0) ratio.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of inclusive J/ψ elliptic flow v2 in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4.0. The dependence of the J/ψ v2 on the collision centrality and on the J/ψ transverse momentum is studied in the range 0≤p(T)<10 GeV/c. For semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV, an indication of nonzero v2 is observed with a largest measured value of v2=0.116±0.046(stat)±0.029(syst) for J/ψ in the transverse momentum range 2≤p(T)<4 GeV/c. The elliptic flow measurement complements the previously reported ALICE results on the inclusive J/ψ nuclear modification factor and favors the scenario of a significant fraction of J/ψ production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase.

Abstract
Azimuthally anisotropic distributions of D0, D+, and D*+ mesons were studied in the central rapidity region (|y|<0.8) in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[sNN]=2.76 TeV per nucleon-nucleon collision, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The second Fourier coefficient v2 (commonly denoted elliptic flow) was measured in the centrality class 30%-50% as a function of the D meson transverse momentum pT, in the range 2-16 GeV/c. The measured v2 of D mesons is comparable in magnitude to that of light-flavor hadrons. It is positive in the range 2<pT<6 GeV/c with 5.7σ significance, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the net-charge fluctuations in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[sNN]=2.76 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The dynamical fluctuations per unit entropy are observed to decrease when going from peripheral to central collisions. An additional reduction in the amount of fluctuations is seen in comparison to the results from lower energies. We examine the dependence of fluctuations on the pseudorapidity interval, which may account for the dilution of fluctuations during the evolution of the system. We find that the fluctuations at the LHC are smaller compared to the measurements at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and as such, closer to what has been theoretically predicted for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract
AIMS Approaches to the risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) remain unsatisfactory. Although late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) for SCD risk stratification has been evaluated in several studies, small sample size has limited their clinical validity. We performed this meta-analysis to better gauge the predictive accuracy of LGE-CMR for SCD risk stratification. METHODS AND RESULTS Electronic databases and published bibliographies were systematically searched to identify studies evaluating the association between the extent of LV scar on LGE-CMR and ventricular arrhythmic events [SCD, resuscitated cardiac arrest, the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias, or appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy]. Only studies enrolling patients with CAD or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy were included. Summary estimates of the relative risk (RR) and likelihood ratios (LRs) were calculated using random effects models. Eleven studies comprising 1105 patients were identified. During a mean/median follow-up of 8.5-41 months 207 patients had ventricular arrhythmic events. Ventricular arrhythmic events were more common in patients with a greater extent of LV scar: RR 4.33 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.98-6.29], positive LR 1.98 (95% CI 1.66-2.37), and negative LR 0.33 (95% CI 0.24-0.46). CONCLUSION The extent of LGE on CMR is strongly associated with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with reduced LVEF and may be a valuable risk stratification tool for identifying patients who will benefit from ICD therapy. However, uncertainties regarding clinical application persist and need to be addressed prior to introduction into broad clinical practice.

Abstract
The transverse momentum (p(T)) distribution of primary charged particles is measured in minimum bias (non-single-diffractive) p+Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The p(T) spectra measured near central rapidity in the range 0.5<p(T) <20 GeV/c exhibit a weak pseudorapidity dependence. The nuclear modification factor R(pPb) is consistent with unity for p(T) above 2 GeV/c. This measurement indicates that the strong suppression of hadron production at high p(T) observed in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC is not due to an initial-state effect. The measurement is compared to theoretical calculations.

Abstract
The charged-particle pseudorapidity density measured over four units of pseudorapidity in nonsingle-diffractive p+Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √(s(NN))=5.02 TeV is presented. The average value at midrapidity is measured to be 16.81±0.71 (syst), which corresponds to 2.14±0.17 (syst) per participating nucleon, calculated with the Glauber model. This is 16% lower than in nonsingle-diffractive pp collisions interpolated to the same collision energy and 84% higher than in d+Au collisions at s√(s(NN))=0.2 TeV. The measured pseudorapidity density in p+Pb collisions is compared to model predictions and provides new constraints on the description of particle production in high-energy nuclear collisions.

Abstract
Measurements of charge-dependent azimuthal correlations with the ALICE detector at the LHC are reported for Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 2.76 TeV. Two- and three-particle charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 0.8 are presented as a function of the collision centrality, particle separation in pseudorapidity, and transverse momentum. A clear signal compatible with a charge-dependent separation relative to the reaction plane is observed, which shows little or no collision energy dependence when compared to measurements at RHIC energies. This provides a new insight for understanding the nature of the charge-dependent azimuthal correlations observed at RHIC and LHC energies.

Abstract
In this Letter we report the first results on π(±), K(±), p, and p production at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in central Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 2.76 TeV, measured by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The p(T) distributions and yields are compared to previous results at sqrt[s(NN)] = 200 GeV and expectations from hydrodynamic and thermal models. The spectral shapes indicate a strong increase of the radial flow velocity with sqrt[s(NN)], which in hydrodynamic models is expected as a consequence of the increasing particle density. While the K/π ratio is in line with predictions from the thermal model, the p/π ratio is found to be lower by a factor of about 1.5. This deviation from thermal model expectations is still to be understood.

Abstract
The first measurement of neutron emission in electromagnetic dissociation of ^{208}Pb nuclei at the LHC is presented. The measurement is performed using the neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment, which detect neutral particles close to beam rapidity. The measured cross sections of single and mutual electromagnetic dissociation of Pb nuclei at sqrt[s(NN)]=2.76 TeV with neutron emission are σ(singleEMD)=187.4 ± 0.2(stat)(-11.2)(+13.2) (syst) b and σ(mutualEMD) = 5.7 ± 0.1(stat) ± 0.4(syst) b, respectively. The experimental results are compared to the predictions from a relativistic electromagnetic dissociation model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability to predict mode, as well as risk, of death in left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is important, as the clinical and cost-effectiveness of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) therapy depends on its use in appropriately selected patient populations. The value of a proteomic approach in identifying prognostic biomarkers in LVSD is unknown. The aims of this pilot study were to use proteomic techniques to identify serum biomarkers associated with LVSD and to prospectively explore their association with prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum was analysed by surface-enhanced laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) in patients with (n=78) and without (n=45) systolic heart failure (SHF). Spectra were compared to identify differentially expressed signal peaks as potential biomarker indicators. The ability of these peaks to predict all-cause mortality and survival with appropriate ICD therapy was then tested prospectively in patients with ICDs, on the background of LVSD (n=141). RESULTS For the identification stage spectra (2-200 kDa) from SHF and control patients were randomly separated into two equally sized discovery and validation sets. Six protein peaks were identified that were differentially expressed in SHF in both sets. In the prospective phase, during a mean follow-up of 15±3 months, 11 patients died and 39 survived with appropriate ICD therapy. Five out of the six proteomic biomarkers predicted all-cause mortality but none predicted appropriate ICD therapy. CONCLUSION These results provide proof-of-principle and are supportive of the SELDI proteomic approach as a high-throughput screening tool in identifying potentially prognostic protein peaks in patients with LVSD.

Abstract
The ALICE Collaboration has measured the inclusive production of muons from heavy-flavor decays at forward rapidity, 2.5<y<4, in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=2.76 TeV. The p(t)-differential inclusive cross section of muons from heavy-flavor decays in pp collisions is compared to perturbative QCD calculations. The nuclear modification factor is studied as a function of p(t) and collision centrality. A weak suppression is measured in peripheral collisions. In the most central collisions, a suppression of a factor of about 3-4 is observed in 6<p(t)<10 GeV/c. The suppression shows no significant p(t) dependence.

Abstract
Coronary aneurysms are found in approximately 5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Most coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are associated with significant stenosis of the coronary lumen; however, there is no common consensus on the treatment of coronary aneurysms. A large aneurysm in the coronary artery makes the blood flow turbulent and predisposes to thrombus formation and coronary artery obstruction even without the presence of significant stenosis. Despite this important anatomical abnormality of the coronary artery, the treatment options are poorly understood and present a therapeutic challenge to the interventional cardiologist. While treating CAAs with percutaneous implantation of covered stents offers a less invasive option compared to surgical correction, the short- and long-term outcomes are unknown. In this article, we have reviewed the literature and discussed the pathophysiology, clinical importance, and treatment options for CAAs. The illustrated case demonstrates a difficult situation in the management of CAA with interesting images, including coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and transesophageal echocardiography of the complication encountered in this particular case.

Abstract
The ALICE experiment has measured the inclusive J/ψ production in Pb-Pb collisions at √s(NN) = 2.76 TeV down to zero transverse momentum in the rapidity range 2.5 < y < 4. A suppression of the inclusive J/ψ yield in Pb-Pb is observed with respect to the one measured in pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The nuclear modification factor, integrated over the 0%-80% most central collisions, is 0.545 ± 0.032(stat) ± 0.083(syst) and does not exhibit a significant dependence on the collision centrality. These features appear significantly different from measurements at lower collision energies. Models including J/ψ production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase can describe our data.

Abstract
The yield of charged particles associated with high-p(t) trigger particles (8<p(t)<15 GeV/c) is measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at √s(NN)=2.76 TeV relative to proton-proton collisions at the same energy. The conditional per-trigger yields are extracted from the narrow jetlike correlation peaks in azimuthal dihadron correlations. In the 5% most central collisions, we observe that the yield of associated charged particles with transverse momenta p(t)>3 GeV/c on the away side drops to about 60% of that observed in pp collisions, while on the near side a moderate enhancement of 20%-30% is found.
